SPECIALIZATION AND INTEGRATION OF LABOUR WITHIN INDUSTRIAL PLANT

Abstract

Productional divison of labour implies the dissemination of several fragments of a production process among particular individuals. The work fragmented in this way can be joined into a unified production process solely by way of — corresponding to the mentioned fragmentation — differentiation, concentration, and centralization of the integrative/management activity. To manage an industrial plant means to transmit partial operations — segments of the productional division of labour. Management is the point of the division of labour which stands above the productional division of labour: the counterpoint of the productional division of labour. Productional division of labour, on the one hand, and the managerial counterpoint of this division of labour, on the other, represent the poles of the quantitatively and qualitatively unequal distribution of activities within an industrial plant. Such substantially unequal distribution of activities in the production process in the matrix how the management pyramid, i. e. power in the production process is set up / established.
